Game day 2 – Steel Town Homecoming

Week 2 of the Niners season is Jimmy T’s homecoming. Back to Pittsburgh. He’ll have a bunch of support from friends and family but not from the rest of river city.

As i suspect early on, and through ateast half the season, no one will take this team seriously nor give their opponents any points. The Niners get 6.5 for this one.  Actually smaller than I thought, given the 3 point home bump, and the supposed superiority of the Steelers.

hey, you never know. The Niners have won 5 of the last 7 meetings .

    You have to be able to block as well. Even when they double Brown, he catches the ball. We don’t have time to hit our WRs. Or even look at them.

    Oh well. Need a big play by the D to even give the team a chance.

      My point is, Hyde is great but first and second down runs all game aren’t going to cut it. For all intents and purposes, this one’s over.

    Or not. DBs getting torched.

    You’re talking about a guy who has been shit in the league since he arrived and they can’t cover him. Ben goes for 400 today.

    Well, I think there is something to the short week. These guys get 10 days rest and we get 4 and a 6 hour travel day.

    And buwwit notes that RBs get hit when they play. Really?

    Fuck. Think they are going to try the end zone again?

  9. Lurker John's avatar Lurker John says:

    Well, we can see what happens when Kap has time to throw. He can cut them up. Problem is, 3 of the 5 o-lineman are shit.

    Christ. Time time time.

    OK, we’ve seen the 2 extremes, maybe we’ll find the happy medium in coming weeks.

    Alrighty then! Go Packers!

  13. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Yeah, one win doesn’t make the year. Neither does one loss.

    Tough to win in AZ though.

    I thought the Niners would learn to pass the ball “DOWN” the field!

  15. Lurker John's avatar Lurker John says:

    You ever notice that the 49ers rarely go with a quick count?

  16. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    The defense that gave up tons of yards to NE is shutting us down.

  17. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    Good teams can throw the ball down the Field, you can’t tell me that every team the Niners play have pro bowl quality backs!! This is not all on Colin, the O-Line, the WR’s, the coaching staff!! All of them!!

    • Lurker John's avatar Lurker John says:

      Absolutely. The offensive line is the main culprit, imo. They simply don’t give him to time to set his feet, let alone let routes develop. Let’s hope they get coached up and improve as the season moves forward, but with meatballs like Devey and Pears being trotted out there every week, I’m not holding my breath.

    Like Lon Simmons said back in 1980. this will either be the worst looss in recent memory, or the greatest comeback in NFL history.

  19. Lurker John's avatar Lurker John says:

    Haha, now the Vikings are waxing Detroit.

  20. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Yeah, For years they just don’t design plays that get WRs open.

  21. Lurker John's avatar Lurker John says:

    Maybe those plays are in there now, there’s just no time to get them the ball.

  22. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    The first play will define the second half!!

  23. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    Running the ball when you are down by 4 touch downs will not get it done!!

  24. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    Yep no passing game,

  25. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    Colin is taking a beating, where are those screens? Something to slow down the Steelers D

  26. Lurker John's avatar Lurker John says:

    One thing is for certain, they’ll learn a lot more facing guys like Roethlisberger than they will facing guys like Bridgewater. With a lot of young guys in there, there’s going to be growing pains.

  27. Lurker John's avatar Lurker John says:

    Not enough touch Colin.

  28. Lurker John's avatar Lurker John says:

    Perfect throw. Fuck Vernon!

  29. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Vernon and Boldin with big drops. They’d better not overturn this 1st down. There’s no way to see enough to change it.

  30. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Screens aren’t working, Kevin. Too much pursuit.
